Parallel gripper with displacement-magnification mechanism and extendable finger mechanism
Junya Tanaka,Atsushi Sugahara,Junya Tanaka,Atsushi Sugahara
We propose a gripper displacement-magnification mechanism and an extendable finger mechanism, both of which can be attached to a commercially available parallel gripper. We then verify the operation of the mechanism in order to expand applications of the parallel gripper. The displacement-magnification mechanism has a stacked rack-and-pinion system that doubles displacement. The extendable finger ...
